Inquest opens into death of Chesterfield pensioner who died after crash in Chatsworth park

Jonathan Weeks, of Shirland Street, died after the car he was travelling in collided with another on B6012 on July 27 this year.

The 93-year-old was taken to hospital but sadly died on August 2.

Chesterfield Coroner's Court heard this morning (Wednesday, August 14) that Mr Weeks was a front seat passenger in a red Ford Fiesta that was headed towards Baslow at around 12.20pm.

She added that the route was subject to a 60mph speed limit.

Adjourning the inquest until a later date, assistant coroner for Derbyshire Matthew Kewley said: "The investigation is still ongoing and will take some time.

"All that remains is for me to extend my condolences to Mr Weeks's family."
